WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1768 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The oil changed itself by falling out the bottom.
I've got an 11 year old Subaru that still doesn't leak. I think that's remarkable.

Had an electrical light show the other day, did'nt interrupt the domestic electrons though.

Had my summer wheels put on the other day,and wouldn't you know,the idiots at Firestone put two of the wheels on backwards,AGAIN! This is the second time they didn't bother to look at what direction the tires were supposed to go.

I use to do it myself,but I got tired of lugging a set of wheels up and down three flights of stairs and changing them in the parking lot of my apartment. Now that I'm in a condo,I'm on the fourth floor with even less space in the lot,so it's easier and to just pay $20 to have someone else do it.

New pads, rotors and OEM lines + new fluid. Swapped to summer wheels while I had everything off.

First track day of the year on very green surface. Morning started wet @ 3c but slowly dried up and was warm enough to not freeze all day.

Successful day all around, didn't go off, car stayed together and made the 2.5hr drive each way.

Finally got the Tein Flex A coilovers installed. It was sitting at a corner of the room for about 4 months when I finally had the time and the other parts arriving. Bought and imported it from Japan lightly used (around 15K KMs) for $500.

After having the coilovers set up to the manual specifications and with ample ride height - the first thing that stood out is how comfortable it is on high speed movements. Coming from my HKS Hipermax GTs I would hit bump stops in the rear despite running 6k springs (from 4k) when going fast on speed bumps, whereas the Flex As with the hydraulic bump stops would just soak it all in.

The spirited drive has yet to come as there's more stuff on the car to get sorted, but I'm really liking it so far.

Wash and adjusted exhaust tips and tried to adjust the headlight lever on the LCA since it seems aiming a bit high since coilover install.

Also did OEM mudguard install, new driverside fender liner, and wheels on my second project car.(Brother's BRZ

)

Replaced the Scion badged drivers air bag with the jdm 86 one. Also replace the rear trunk mat(filthy) with a new one.

Adjusting the exhaust tips was a bit of a waste of time. They will be crooked again, in the morning, when you look at them -

Did you notice the performance gain?

JD001 · 04-20-2025, 02:18 PM

Spanners (sockets actually) out today with flat head left handed screw driver in hand, off to work I went.. Hey ho, hey ho....!! All to investigate the dodgy windscreen washers.. both sides not working.. was hoping for clogged pipe or two.. but looks like the washer check valve is faulty!! WTF can wrong with tiny weeny little part!!

Ordered a new OEM part, was tempted by the cheaper copies but didn't fancy performing open heart surgery again.. okay, okay not open heart but more like a paper cut bandage job!!

Now that I've ordered the part, I'm thinking should have done further checks via good ole WD40..

I think the JDM items deploy quicker.. more digital watch than mechanical watch..

I would consider my '13 FRS a garage queen. Under 37k miles on it. I bought it in '15 with 17k. Soooo.. Added these red suede door handle overlays. Awaiting a few online goodies to add to the interior.

WOW! That's impressive!

I bought my '13 ten years ago next month with 21k miles on it. It now has 106k miles,and I though I was doing good.
